Chapter 1. Sunny boy
Вo you know what the expression "Sunny boy" is? Well, Mal never knew it. What does it mean "sunny"? Is he glowing or something?
When Mal and Ben are actually started dating, the girl was often listening to the things that people where talking behind her back. And this expression was one of the most used ones. Mal could not understand why is her boyfriend sunny. If you will look only at his appearance then you will see that the prince doesn't even look like the Sun: light brown hair, broad shoulders… It looked standard for a sweet boy from a magazine.
The first time when she saw his "shining" when he smiled to her on their first date. It was a bright and sincere smile full of love and care. It didn't look like the other types of smiles that were around her. The other ones were making Mal sick… but his smile was different from the others.
This became what gave rise to doubt in her and made her wonder if she was doing the right thing… Can even she – daughter of Maleficent – make anything right?! Doubts have been silenced, but soon they returned. It happened when Ben confessed that the spell has vanished after his swimming in a magic lake. Mal was nervous and didn't know what to think.
- So were you just pretending since that time? – Asked she and her heart missed a beat.
Ben just smiled to her in such way as if she was a small child who said a stupid thing. She wasn't listening to his answer. A strange feeling filled her. She was bewitched by his smile.
Doubts plagued her all the time while the coronation ceremony was going on. Why could not she do just one step towards the fairy and snatch the magic wand from her hands? But she felt herself frozen , while she was looking at the prince who was ready to become a king. And so she decided to do nothing because he was the person that she… the person that she loved. She can't make him suffer. He must stay happy and be that sunny boy with whom she fell in love with.
-Why do you look so sad? – Asked her Ben. - You know that you can trust me.
Few days ago ended this story with Uma and another pirates and Mal from now on was known as the king's bride… but some feeling inside was killing her and Ben saw it.
- I felt myself so bad when I saw you with Uma… It still hurts and I can't get it out of my head.
- What can I do to make you feel better? - Ben hugged Mal. – I already told you so many times that I love you. And if you want I will say it again and again. I love you… more than anything else in this world. I need you even more than my life, Mal.
- I… Me… you too… - It was hard for Mal to say that.
- If you can't say it I don't insist. – Smiled Ben. – I…
- I loved you. – Whispered Mal. She still could not say it out loud. – It looks like I feel it since the day that we've met. And I hope that I will spend my whole life with you.
- I will try to make all your dreams come true.
- I will always be with you. And I'll always come back to you. Whatever it takes for me.
- That sounds like a vassal oath. – Laughed Ben. - But don't take it all on yourself. I'm here for you anytime. You can... no not like that. You have to tell me everything that's bothering you. It's your only responsibility... except for the daily rate of kissing, because I seem to have become addicted to it.
- For you I'll do anything… Happy birthday, Benyboo.
